Battle
It has a simple attack pattern, with a 33% chance of using Venom Claw or Venomist every turn. The former poisons a single party member, while the latter poisons the entire party.
Strategy
Besides the nuisance of poison, the Weredragon is not very dangerous and is easily slain with Fira and Firaga spells.

Weredragon is vulnerable to Death attacks, so the player can equip weaponry like the Zantetsuken or the Wing Edge for a quick victory. Equipping a Reflect Ring will also reflect the monster's Death spell back at it. Also, Gogo with three Sketch commands provides a chance for it to cast Death on it by itself.

Hyphenation used to be mandatory but is now commonly dropped, as in werecat and wererat. This usage can be seen as a back-formation from werewolf (literally, "man-wolf"), as there is no equivalent wifewolf.
In folklore and fantasy fiction,dragon is a legendary creature, typically with serpentine or reptilian traits, which is featured in the myths of many cultures.
